My new profit updater is now failing when launched. I have been using it fine since installing it when it came out. I get no information, just the Windows popup to send the information to Microsoft. This is Windows 7 64 bit.

The new updater is a .NET application and I'm not sure how it would respond to a loss of connectivity, assuming that's the actual issue. Darq can answer that best, seeing as he wrote it.

You could try running a fresh copy of the updater in case running copy somehow broke. It's entirely stand-alone and doesn't require installation as such.

It's also possible that the misbehavior is due to corrupted local data. Besides the UI files, the updater does store some information elsewhere for its use. One of the reasons I wrote the NukeProfit.BAT script was to ensure that the other local data was deleted when ProfitUI was uninstalled. You might try running that to totally uninstall Profit, then run the updater to reinstall it.

These are just educated guesses. That's about all I can offer without hard evidence like system event logs.

FWIW, I have seen occasional cases of an application just breaking for no obvious reason. I see a lot more of that in Windows 10 than I ever did in Windows 7, but it is a remote possibility.

The ProfitUI_CE utility does not go to the cloud until the user specifically requests it from the app: check for updates, EQ2MAP updates, link to EQ2Interface, etc. So it should launch even without connectivity. Therendil's nuke script will reset the utility's settings, but it also deletes your ProfitUI_CE folder. Maybe we should have another script that resets only the utility?

Otherwise, in your ProfitUI_CE folder there is a file called utilitylog.txt. If you will zip and send that to darqwood at hotmail dot com I'll see if I can figure out what's up.
